Standout Performers

Fancesa’s goalkeeper made several crucial saves to keep his team in the game, while Universitario’s midfield pivot controlled the tempo after the equaliser. The match highlighted the depth in both clubs’ reserve ranks, with several players pressing their case for first‑team inclusion.
